How to make "noodles" out of Zucchini and Cucumber



Recommended Posts

So my husband created a video showing how this can be done. Have a look and it's our first video so if you want to leave us feedback on youtube, that will really help. :)

I actually have quite a few recipes on my blog that are all sleeve-friendly. www.sleevers.wordpress.com

I first learned about zuchinni noodles from The World According to Eggface blog, I bought an OXO julienne tool with extra tiny holes and it makes perfect spaghetti noodles :) which I blanche just enough to make them limp.

Awesome! How do you cook them? I assume they wouldn't need to fully boil like regular Pasta noodles do. Do you saute them instead? Do they taste good with spaghetti sauce or even just with some garlic salt and olive oil? I love spaghetti squash so I am sure I will like noodles made out of zucchini!

The cucumber ones do not need to be cooked at all. Fresh and crunchy! The zucchini ones, you can sauté in a little oil until they are it soggy and get a bit crisp and crunchy. I love spaghetti squash myself but I love these more. They don't have much of a taste and so you can actually taste the sauce made. Spaghetti sauce would work well.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
